Personal access tokens are used for authenticating with the Productive API. These tokens remain active indefinitely unless manually revoked.
Generation
Navigate to Settings > API integrations.
Select "Generate new token" to create a new token.
Association
These tokens are linked to a specific user. If the user is deactivated, the token will automatically be deactivated.
Access Levels
When creating a token, you can define its access level:
Read-only: Allows viewing data.
Read/Write: Permits both viewing and editing data.
Note: For Zapier integrations, a Read/Write token is required.
Additional Information
Productive API has a limit of 100 queries per 10 seconds.
Changing a password or enabling/disabling two-factor authentication does not invalidate existing tokens.
Access Restrictions
API tokens inherit the same access restrictions as the user they are associated with!
If a user does not have permission to access certain features or data within Productive, these limitations will also apply to their API token.
